Description
Extended-range guitars need pickups that can handle the extra low-end without turning to mud, and that’s exactly what the Duncan Distortion 8-string bridge humbucker delivers. It’s the same aggressive, high-output design that’s powered countless rock and metal rigs, scaled up and re-engineered for 8-string instruments.
- Massive ceramic bar magnet paired with hot coil windings for serious output
- Tight, gritty low strings even under heavy gain
- Screaming, harmonic-rich high strings with pronounced upper midrange
- Nickel silver bottom plate for added stability
- 4-conductor lead wire for coil-split, series/parallel, and other wiring setups
- Vacuum wax potted to eliminate microphonic squeal
- Passive mount fits standard guitar routing without modification
- Available with black metal cover or open-coil look
Hand-built at Seymour Duncan’s Santa Barbara, CA factory, this humbucker is designed specifically for players pushing into 8-string territory who still want the punch, clarity, and harmonic complexity that made the original Distortion a modern classic. Note that Seymour Duncan also offers this pickup in a standard active mount size with a black soapbar cover and exposed pole row, but this listing is the passive mount version built for traditional routing.
